Today’s technology is becoming increasingly advanced and complex, consequently software running this technology equally increases in complexity. Organizations developing software are facing the increased complexity in their development processes. Software systems are worked on by large departments of multiple teams; code bases are split into multiple different repositories that combine into a singular product. After the introduction of the Agile Manifesto in 2001, the software industry was revolutionized by the implementation of agile software development processes (e.g., Scrum). Not surprisingly, tool support for the Scrum process execution emerged. However, it became evident that Scrum itself and currently available tool support is not well suited for large-scale software development endeavors. Organizations may take advantage of frameworks, for example the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), designed to apply Scrum in large-scale software development settings. This mitigates the issue regarding the process itself; the problem regarding effective tool support however remains. For this reason, this thesis sets out to create an artifact focusing on value-based planning and monitoring of large- scale software projects. Although the usage is not limited to agile software development processes and the artifact may be used for projects following the traditional waterfall approach, the design of the application is based on Scrum and SAFe. The planning especially focuses on the hierarchical relations between backlog items in SAFe and intents to aggregate values and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on the hierarchical levels and therefore create previously unavailable information for the user.
